Kulttuurit törmäävät ja tunteet kuohahtelevat, mutta pian nämä eri maailmoista tulevat kytät huomaavat, että heillä on jotain yhteistä: he eivät voi sietää toisiaan. Aika on käymässä vähiin, joten heidän on yhdistettävä voimansa siepatakseen rikolliset – jos eivät ensin tapa toisiaan... (Soulmedia Fin.)

A cliché seen a hundred times before, dressed up in slightly more elegant garb and played by a more likable pair of comedians. But it’s still basically just a run-of-the-mill action flick.

The main characters are entertaining and funny, and that's all they needed for a solid success. The combination of the East's fastest feet and the West's biggest talker and buffoon worked quite solidly, and this action-packed romp surprisingly turned out to be a solid comedy. And the fact that the action is sometimes eye-poppingly silly and that Jackie Chan is visibly fooling around at times is easily forgivable, because the film has momentum and you don’t get bored. It's a pity about the other parts, because this could have been tolerated. I had fun.

When I first watched this movie - yes, in 2014 - I realized how much Jonah Hill resembles Chris Penn, not just in appearance but also in speech. Interesting. But back to the film. If I had seen it about ten years ago, when movies weren't so filled with loud black characters, it probably would have grabbed me a bit more right from the start. I never get tired of Jackie. Chris Tucker is originally quite unbearable, but somehow this duo just clicks. I'm not saying it's excellent, but occasionally some scenes do work.
